§ Mr. Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies on what date he first communicated with the Governor of the Leeward Islands on the matter concerning Charles Payne, of Forest Gate; on what date he received a reply; and on how many occasions he made contact with the Governor relative to this subject.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydAs I have already informed the hon. Member by letter, I wrote to the Governor of the Leeward Islands and to the Administrator in Montserrat on this subject on 14th May. A reply was received from the Administrator on 10th June. I found it necessary to consult the Administrator again by telegram before providing the hon. Member with the information for which he had asked.
